I highly reccomend goign with the chocolate on sticks in place of the cookies if you'd like to stick close to the origional theme. Candied apples may be a good idea, too, kinda fall themed and could be in a basket with flowers for an easy grab and take home treat. And little candies you can put in a cute fabric bag or plastic bag with a ribbon can be arranged in a floral arrangement in a basket for the center of the table. I googled for recipes, but you can dot hat just as easily as I can...

You could try buying cookies to fit in with your original plan, or get several of the least expensive fall bouquets available at your local grocery store and put them in the vases you had planned to use for cookies.

You could also try sprucing up the tacky looking candles with some sort of red/harvest ribbon or fabric from a craft store. Or you could maybe find some mini round cardboard boxes with lids (also at a craft store) and decorate them to look like wedding cakes and put the candles inside.

Good luck!

I swear to you that no one really wants a favor. Really, truly, I promise.

With a fall/red theme you can do something gorgeous with fall fruit & leaves. Cheap and easy to pull together on short notice.

Since you are pushed for time, consider getting organza bags and fill them with a treat (candy, candle etc.). You can make the cards attached with them. See link below.

What we do at our families wedding showers is get some family members to make themed baskets and draw names as prizes for people to take them home. or you could do chocolate candy molds on a stick instead of cookies. you can go to a candy store and get lots of colored chocolate chips to melt down and pour into molds. you can bake cupcakes and put the bride and grooms names on them. Good luck!
